Bret Hart was picture perfect for that belt. He was truly a real World's Champion and he always took pride in his work. Regardless of what people may think, Bret Hart will go down as one of the true all time greats.

He will, indeed, Mr. Dame😇👍

[@paulrussell9632]

It's often said that Bret took himself too seriously, but I personally admire that he valued the tag, IC and World titles as much as he did. It's nice to see someone treat the belts with prestige, someone who believes they mean something and should be carried with pride.

[@dannyknightblade4592]

I agree with you 💯 percent. Bret taking the titles seriously made them true valued prizes instead of silly trinkets passed from one wrestler to the next wrestler. Bret made every title he held matter because he treated every title he held as if it truly mattered.

[@MRRiley-ct8my]

Bret Hart in my opinion is the greatest wwf heavyweight champion ever he was always a true fighting champion.

[@JonBaal-zv2mx]

@@Jcrash71 You're aware he was portray in the Simpson's? That he was invited in almost every talk-show in Ameria during a time that wrestling was forgotten from the Pop culture? In fact, I'm sure that his work influence every generations of wrestlers that come next to his's and that he was way, I mean WAY ahead of his time. Think about character's work and in-ring work of Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, The Rock, Steve Austin, Jon Moxley, Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, HHH, CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Gunther, Jay White, Cody Rhodes, Adam Cole, Kenny Omega and so on. I see a lot of Bret Hart in them. Cultural icon. Wrestling icon. He achieve it all.

The greatest professional wrestler of all time.

[@AlexFromPhoenix]

“Shaun’s not tough” hahaha awesome stuff from Bret. Lol I love it.

[@elhitman82]

Bret is my all time favorite and you can see in this interview that he has always been honest. Bret’s matches were good because you could see that he was always trying to win. He even gave a candid assessment of other wrestlers even Shawn Michaels. Bret was truly in a league of his own. He was where the attitude era really began, before it dwindled down to shock TV.

[@rolieglase9212]

Heart breaking hearing him speak about how great Vince is.. considering what would happen so soon after. As a Bret Hart fan.. what I wouldn't give to go back to this time and warn him of what is to come.

[@AstroWrLd44]

Anyone can be a champion in wrestling but In order for a wrestling title to have any real value, you have to show a desire to want to wear it. Bret was a pioneer for really making the title mean something.

[@thebreeze12]

As per usual with Bret you get an honest and straightforward answer on everything. He gives props to both Austin and Michaels and even admits that Shawn is probably the better athlete. I completely agree with Bret that as a wrestler Shawn cant really hold a candle to Bret's in ring ability. I think Jim Cornette said it best when comparing the 2 of them, he said Bret has had the better matches while Shawn has had the better performances. IMO it's Bret that can have a 5* match with anyone whereas Shawn cant boast that same claim. I also believe Shawn has had more chances or oppurtunities to have those "performances" than Bret was given.

[@apostolostvable]

Notice he mentions Steve Austin as being close to his level. He also said in 1996 "I am back and at the Survivor Series I will face the best wrestler in the WWF today, Stone Cold Steve Austin."

[@zodiacz3737]

Yep. That’s a guy who’s top priority is not himself but what’s best for everybody. And he didn’t say it but Bret Hart is a better wrestler than Stone Cold. Stone Cold is more popular but not as great of a pro wrestler.

[@apostolostvable]

@@zodiacz3737 Bret was the better technician, but Austin was arguably greater as a psychologist, seller. Michaels was the more agile, great performer of the three. Regardless they were all brilliant.

[@VSEntertainment1]

​@@zodiacz3737 Austin prior his neck injury was one of the greatest wrestlers in the world. If Bret was a 10 out of 10, Austin was a 9.5 out of 10. For Bret to say he is near his level and the best the WWF had at the time speaks volume of how great Austin was, if he wasn't that great Bret wouldn't have wasted his time with him. If you a real fan of u know Bret The Hitman never talked bs.
